Mittels einer Steuerzentrale können bei dieser bekannten Funkfernsteuervorrichtung mehrere Rolläden zeitabhängig oder wetterabhängig ferngesteuert werden. Zur Programmierung besitzt die Steuerzentrale eine Eingabetastatur. Im Hinblick auf die anzustrebende Kleinbauweise steht für eine solche Programmierung nur eine begrenzt Zahl von Tasten oder sonstigen Bedienungs- und Anzeigeelementen zur Verfügung, wodurch die Programmierung im allgemeinen relativ umständlich und kompliziert wird oder auch nur begrenzt möglich ist.

To transmit to the control center 10.

Über den Funksender 13 steuert die Steuerzentrale 10 drahtlos mehrere im oder am Gebäude angeordnete elektrische Verbraucher 28 - 32. Die Zahl der elektrischen Verbraucher 28 - 32 kann selbstverständlich nahezu beliebig verkleinert oder vergrößert werden, je nach Auslegung der Steuerzentrale 10. Solche elektrischen Verbraucher können beispielsweise Rolläden, Markisen, Heizungen und Heizgeräte, Kühlanlagen und Kühlgeräte sowie Lichter und Beleuchtungen sein. In dieser Reihenfolge sind die im Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellten elektrischen Verbraucher 28 - 32 mit entsprechenden Symbolen versehen. Jedem der elektrischen Verbraucher 28 - 32 ist ein Empfangsmodul 33 - 37 zugeordnet, um die entsprechenden Funksteuersignale der Steuerzentrale 10 zu empfangen und in entsprechende elektrische Steuerbefehle umzuwandeln. Diese Empfangsmodule können wie im Falle der Empfangsmodule 33, 34 als im jeweiligen Verbraucher 28, 29 integrierte Empfangsmodule ausgebildet sein, oder sie sind im Falle der Verbraucher 30 - 32 als separate Empfangsmodule 35 - 37 ausgebildet. Dies hängt von den individuellen Einbaumöglichkeiten und dem erforderlichen Einbauaufwand ab. Im Falle von Rolläden oder Markisen können als Steuersignale bzw. Schaltbefehle beispielsweise Auf-/Zu-/Stopp-Steuerbefehle, im Falle von Beleuchtungen Ein-/Aus-/DIM-Wertsignale und im übrigen auch Taktbefehle und Monoflopfunktionen treten. Das Absenden der Funksteuersignale erfolgt in Abhängigkeit der Uhrzeit, die vom Uhrenmodul 16 vorgegeben wird, sofern Zeitsteuerfunktionen vorgegeben sind, oder in Abhängigkeit von Wetterdaten oder sonstigen Zustandsdaten, die die Steuerzentrale 10 von der Wetterstation 15 oder anderen Zustandssensoren empfängt.The control center 10 controls the radio transmitter 13 wirelessly several electrical arranged in or on the building Consumers 28 - 32. The number of electrical consumers 28 - 32 can of course be almost arbitrary be reduced or enlarged, depending on the interpretation of the Control center 10. Such electrical consumers can for example shutters, awnings, heaters and heaters, Cooling systems and cooling devices as well as lights and Be lighting. In that order are the Embodiment shown electrical consumers 28 - 32 with appropriate symbols. Anyone electrical consumer 28-32 is a receiving module 33 - 37 assigned to the corresponding radio control signals the control center 10 to receive and in corresponding convert electrical control commands. These receiving modules can as in the case of the receiving modules 33, 34 as in the respective consumer 28, 29 integrated reception modules be trained, or they are in the case of Consumers 30-32 as separate receiver modules 35-37 educated. This depends on the individual installation options and the required installation effort. in the Cases of shutters or awnings can be used as control signals or switching commands, for example open / close / stop control commands, In the case of lighting, on / off / DIM value signals and also clock commands and monoflop functions to step. The sending of the radio control signals takes place in dependence on the time of the clock module 16 is specified if time control functions are specified are, or depending on weather data or other State data that the control center 10 from the weather station 15 or other state sensors.

Die Programmierung der Steuerzentrale 10 bzw. deren Controller 11 und Datenspeicheranordnung 12 erfolgt über den an einer Schnittstelle 17 angeschlossenen PC 18. Dieser besitzt hierzu eine nicht näher dargestellte Bedienungstastatur und einen Bildschirm. Dieser PC 18 braucht nur während der Programmierung in Betrieb zu sein und kann im übrigen abgeschaltet oder für andere Zwecke benutzt werden. Die Steuerung der Verbraucher 28 - 32 erfolgt unabhängig vom PC 18.The programming of the control center 10 or their Controller 11 and data storage arrangement 12 takes place via the PC 18 connected to an interface 17. For this purpose, this has an operating keyboard, not shown and a screen. This PC 18 only needs to be in operation during programming and can otherwise be switched off or for other purposes to be used. Controlling consumers 28-32 takes place independently of the PC 18.

Zur Programmierung kann der PC 18 ein fertig vorliegendes, z.B. auf Datenträgern gespeichertes Programm in die Datenspeicheranordnung 12 übertragen. Diese kann beispielsweise in einem Festwertspeicher ein Grundprogramm enthalten, oder aber das gesamte Programm wird in einem nicht-flüchtigen, z.B. batteriegepufferten Arbeitsspeicher festgehalten. Bei einer Programmierung kann das augenblicklich vorliegende Programm auf dem Bildschirm des PCs 18 wiedergegeben und bei Bedarf geändert oder ergänzt werden. Programmänderungen und Programmumstellungen sind dadurch relativ leicht möglich, wobei die Steuerzentrale 10 selbst keine Programm- und Bedienungstasten benötigt. Beim Programmieren kann der PC 18 in einer Sonderbetriebsfunktion auch direkt die Empfangsmodule 33 - 37 bzw. die elektrischen Verbraucher 28 - 32 ansteuern.For programming, the PC 18 can have a finished, e.g. program stored on data carriers in the data storage arrangement 12 transferred. This can, for example contain a basic program in a read-only memory, or but the whole program is in a non-volatile, e.g. battery-backed memory. In the case of programming, this can be the current one Program played on the screen of the PC 18 and can be changed or supplemented if necessary. Program changes and program changes are thereby relatively easily possible, the control center 10 itself no program and control buttons required. When programming can the PC 18 in a special operating function also the receiving modules 33 - 37 or the electrical ones Activate consumers 28 - 32.

Durch Verwendung eines anwenderspezischen Codes können alle Empfangsmodule 33 - 37 vor fremden Funksignalen geschützt werden, die zu Fehlbedienungen der elektrischen Verbraucher 28 - 32 führen könnten. Ein solcher Code wird in die Empfangsmodule 33 - 37 eingelernt. Dies kann durch ein spezielles Funksignal und/oder in einem speziellen Einlernmodus durch Eingabe über ingetrierte Dip-Schalter od.dgl. erfolgen. By using a custom code all receiver modules 33 - 37 before external radio signals are protected, which leads to incorrect operation of the electrical Could lead consumers 28-32. Such a code will taught in the receiving modules 33-37. This can be done by a special radio signal and / or in a special one Teach-in mode by input via integrated dip switches or the like. respectively.

Es ist selbstverständlich auch möglich, daß die Empfangsmodule 33 - 37 als Sende-/Empfangsmodule ausgebildet sind, um beispielsweise Istgrößen oder Zustandsdaten der Verbraucher an die Steuerzentrale 10 rückmelden zu können, falls dies vorgesehen oder erwünscht ist. Auf diese Weise ist es beispielsweise auch möglich, einzelne Verbraucher mittels der Steuerzentrale 10 zu regeln.It is of course also possible for the receiving modules 33 - 37 are designed as transmission / reception modules, for example actual values or status data of the consumers to be able to report back to the control center 10, if this is intended or desired. In this way for example, it is also possible for individual consumers to regulate by means of the control center 10.

Im Ausführungsbeispiele sind drei Erweiterungsmodule 20 - 22 dargestellt, wobei auch hier die Zahl variabel ist. Solche Erweiterungsmodule können nach Bedarf mit der Steuerzentrale 10 über die Schnittstelle 19 bzw. Anschlüsse verbunden werden, oder die Erweiterungsmodule 20 - 22 werden direkt an der Steuerzentrale 10 angesteckt oder eingesteckt. Über diese Erweiterungsmodule können die Funktionen und Möglichkeiten der Steuerzentrale erweitert werden. Beispielsweise kann das Erweiterungsmodul 22 als Speichererweiterungsmodul ausgebildet sein, und die als Schnittstellenmodule ausgebildeten Erweiterungsmodule 20 und 21 können zum Anschluß an eine Telefonleitung 38 und an ein Hausbussystem oder eine sonstige Busleitung 39 dienen. Über solche externen Anschlüsse ist eine Fernabfrage des Zustands der Steuerzentrale 10 möglich, und es können auch von einem übergeordneten Steuersystem übergeordnete Steuerbefehle der Steuerzentrale 10 zugeleitet werden, die diese wiederum in Steuerbefehle für die elektrischen Verbraucher 28 - 32 umsetzt. Dabei ist es auch möglich, beispielsweise über die Telefonleitung 18 oder die Busleitung 39 von einer entfernten Stelle aus die Steuerzentrale 10 mittels des PCs 18 zu programmieren.In the exemplary embodiment, three expansion modules 20 - 22, the number being variable here as well. Such expansion modules can be used with the Control center 10 via the interface 19 or connections are connected, or the expansion modules 20 - 22 are plugged directly into the control center 10 or plugged in. You can use these expansion modules Control center functions and options expanded become. For example, the expansion module 22 can be used as Memory expansion module can be formed, and as Extension modules 20 designed as interface modules and 21 can be connected to a telephone line 38 and to a house bus system or another bus line 39 to serve. Remote inquiry is via such external connections the state of the control center 10 possible and it can also superordinated by a higher-level tax system Control commands are sent to the control center 10, the these in turn in control commands for the electrical Consumer 28 - 32 implemented. It is also possible for example via the telephone line 18 or the bus line 39 the control center from a remote location 10 to program using the PC 18.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann die Steuerzentrale 10 auch als Steckkarte zum Einstecken in den PC 18 selbst ausgebildet sein. In diesem Falle entfallen eine gesonderte Verbindungsleitung sowie Steckverbinder, und es wird keine externe Schnittstelle des PCs 18 belegt. Die Steuerzentrale 10 muß in diesem Falle dennoch über eine eigene Spannungsversorgung verfügen, damit beim Abschalten des PCs 18 die Steuerung der Verbraucher 28 - 30 erhalten bleibt. Hierzu kann entweder das Versorgungsnetzteil 15 ein gesondertes Netzkabel besitzen oder als Steckernetzteil ausgebildet sein. Alternativ hierzu ist es auch möglich, einen Akku an der als Steckkarte ausgebildeten Steuerzentrale 10 anzuordnen, der die Stromversorgung übernimmt. Dieser kann dann über den Steckplatz des PCs in den Zeiten aufgeladen werden, in denen der PC 18 eingeschaltet ist. Sofern dieser nur relativ selten eingeschaltet wird, z.B. auch in Urlaubszeiten, kann die Steuerzentrale 10 bei leerwerdendem Akku auch den PC 18 selbst einschalten, um eine Ladung der Akkus zu erzwingen. Nach der Ladung kann die Steuerzentrale 10 dann den PC 18 auf dieselbe Weise wieder ausschalten.In a further embodiment of the invention, the Control center 10 also as a plug-in card for insertion in the PC 18 itself be formed. In this case there is no need for a separate connecting line and connectors, and there will be no external interface of the PC 18 occupied. The control center 10 must in this case nevertheless have their own power supply, control of the consumers when the PC 18 is switched off 28 - 30 remains. To do this, either Supply power supply 15 have a separate power cord or be designed as a plug-in power supply. Alternatively it is also possible to use a battery on the plug-in card trained control center 10 to arrange the Power supply takes over. This can then be via the Slot of the pc to be charged in times which the PC 18 is turned on. If only this is switched on relatively rarely, e.g. even during vacation times, can the control center 10 when the battery is empty also turn on the PC 18 itself to charge the To force batteries. After loading, the control center can 10 then turn off the PC 18 in the same way.
